One of my friend wrote a java code for the same requirement and he is able to make requests successfully. If java code works fine, why not c# programming??

Dear Friend,
403 error relates to permissions issues where 400 error says that you are accessing wrong URL .

Please double check on this, if possible post more info on your issue . :)
